Heartache in Toronto in wake of deadly New Zealand mosque shootings

There was a heavy police presence at the hospital where families of the wounded had gathered.

These nihilist, clash-of-civilisations narratives - whichever ideologies inform them - leave all nations more vulnerable to extremist violence. "For people of all religions and of none, a red line has been crossed".

Friday prayers at the Windsor Mosque on March 15, 2019, a day after a gunman killed 49 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. "We stand in solidarity with the people of New Zealand and their government against this vicious act of hate". The inverse of this phenomenon is, of course, that it gives oxygen to the propaganda machine of radical fringe elements spreading hatred against the West and religious minorities in Muslim countries, thus perpetuating an unending cycle of hate.

"I blame these increasing terror attacks on the current Islamophobia post-9/11", Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan posted on social media.

He travelled more frequently in the past two years on what he said were reconnaissance trips to mosques, working out which to target, according to a detailed manifesto he wrote spelling out sickening reasons for the mass Christchurch executions.

Cook Islands prime minister Herny Puna said his country's prayers first and foremost were with the victims of the shooting, "their families, friends and loved ones whe are now faced with the irreconcilable loss of their loved ones". Everything was going normally, but suddenly we just started hearing sirens blaring from every direction.

"We pray that people understand that differences should not be resolved through violence".

New Zealand's gun laws are rather lenient at the moment, as anyone over the age of 16 or 18 with a gun license can purchase an unlimited number of "military-style semiautomatic weapons", and most of those guns do not need to be registered.

"It is clear that this can now only be described as a terrorist attack", Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said, noting that numerous victims could be migrants or refugees. "I would not describe him as a long-term resident".

But that visit, and the kindness of his hosts, did not deter Tarrant from his homicidal plans, which he said he had been formulating for two years - but had not originally meant to act on in New Zealand.

Ardern said the attack by people with "extremist views" was "unprecedented - unlike any that we have experienced before". "Many of the people require multiple trips to the theatre to deal with the complex series of injuries they have".

The Palestinian chief peace negotiator, Saeb Erekat, called the attack a "consequence of racist ideologies that continue trying to promote religious wars".

Canadian Muslims have expressed their sadness and shock at the shooting deaths of 49 worshippers at two mosques in New Zealand.

New Zealand is also generally considered to be welcoming to migrants and refugees.

Citing right-wing U.S. commentator Candace Owens as an inspiration, Tarrant also claimed he had been in brief contact with Anders Breivik, the far-right extremist who killed 77 people in attacks in Norway in 2011.

Among the wounded, two were in a critical condition, including a four-year-old child.
